Even with all the Controversy that rightfully surrounds them, I still think that this could be well worth Discussing given thier Track Record.
While it is likely just Marketing Jumbo, the Whole “Rethink Personal Manufacturing” stuff does make me think that this double extrusion stuff is more than just 2 Lossless Filament changers. What do you folks think? What will be the Killer Feature of the H2D?
The price. It’s going to be noticeably more expensive and probably more locked down than the X1C. You will be able to buy a Qidi IDEX system or Prusa Core 1 with their MMU for less money.
I have heard that there will be a laser and vinyl cutter attachments for the H2D also. That won’t end well for Bambu. The added complexity and rather useless power and size constraints for those add ons will make them a nearly useless cost for users and support headaches for Bambu.
Though I do give Bambu large credit for using the A1 series hot ends. They are inexpensive and fast to change out, (provided they don’t stick to the extruder making them a pain to remove).
Unless there is something they aren’t telling yet, I don’t see this as a popular money making product for Bambu.
Wait, they’re adding vinyl cutting to the extruder? What in the mad science hell?
I can’t see a world where that works well unless the cutter is on a different part. I’d imagine that a vinyl cutting head has entirely different design considerations and constraints than a 3D filament extruder.
